THESE ARE OPEN(organic) VERSES using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretation unique to the moment

We heard that she and he were
together.
If this man knew what we know.
Maybe he'd stop to think things over.
Now he nelived that she was married with children.
Wrong! She never married
and had no children.
She told him this to gain
attention and to have words to negocate
her being with him.
To allow him to speak words of
marrage
to elimante the dating process.
Now since we have told you
of her trickery, might
you tell him
that we can stop acting odd around him.
we whisper about this amonst one another.
It has made even the angerest peoples
in our fair community stop and speak on this.
Comparing there own dumbness with women to
this one. Terll this man what has transpired
that he can bring some normality to these peoplez!
She wishes him to tend to her animals
and build her house. They might marry
if he does we will speak him a fool!
On day one, how sunny was the sunlight?
Did prodigious brightness, blast…
the sun delight, its birth?
The first time in the sky was nightlight blue?
The moonlight, was it waxing -
Was it festive blue at birth?
Fruit chewed from sin’s tree by Eve and Adam
Did clouds shadow sun and moon
the first time sin was chewed?
Day and night switched places, bleak was the cross.
The moon bled red…the son died.
With men, Jesus switched places.
On the third day, hallelujah sunrise
Jesus walked out of the grave.
Salvation light, the third day.
A multitude of stars, Abraham saw
when God pointed out his sons —
one star, one famed night sky

The Low and Slow Lights of the Night Fixtures
David J Walker
I am fairly sure the light fixtures
Rose from the ground
On their own
And wound their way through
The city as night fixtures
On the corners of
Each street where
They were sewn
By the blues players
In tight harmonic
Tones
Where the women danced
In a voluptuous trance
And the men who knew how
In the here and now
romanced their way
into the meanings of loves
homophone
I am fairly sure the light fixtures
At night
Were fixed on
Low and slow
Plot
Sweet spot
Feel grand lot
Sum
Wise farm
Grand outcomes
Swing
Joy sings
Happy flings
Day
Now plays
On the way
Ease
Deep peace
Funds increase
Light
Gives sight
To put right
Wit
Pun hits
Bits that fit
Quest
The best
Thrill fond zest
Child
Once wild
Now too mild
Trade
Once made
Brings charades
Voice
Sweet poise
Claim clear choice
